Little is missing to complete the first decade of the XXIst Century. It might think that at this point the advances in the society already left behind the multiple inequality that affected the woman in the past.

Nothing more removed to the reality.

It is enough to check some situations to realize that, although it has been advanced in the equality of the woman opposite to the society, it still stays for doing. According to the UNO, in the sub-Saharan Africa 50 % of the infected ones with VIH is women, because the culture there encourages that the males have more than one sexual couple.

In some countries of the Middle East, fundamentalist readings force women to be walked along the completely covered streets, scarcely showing the ankles. Many of them are not allowed to handle a vehicle, only for belonging to the feminine genre.

On the other hand, it is estimated as well as between 10 and 60 % of the women in the world have experienced familiar violence.

In many societies, and not only the most underdeveloped, the women cannot gain access to a quality education. This reverberates in that, at the time of entering the labor market, they generally win less than the men even if they work the same hours and have the same productivity.

An example happens in the Supreme Court. Sandra Day O'Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg have been the two only women in the maximum court of the country. On having withdrawn O'Connor from him, Samuel Alito entered, eliminating the gained. It is probable that the President Barack Obama replaces the projecting judge David Souter with a woman, and even one speaks about a minorities woman. But the point is that, as the tides, the advance usually comes accompanied from regressions.

This May 10 a new Day of the Mother is celebrated, and although we might celebrate the advances that the women have achieved, it is our obligation to aim at all those phenomena that show the opposite situation.
